Study Notes
Pulleys and Machines
- A pulley is a device with a wheel that has a grooved rim in which a rope or belt can wind through.
- Pulleys are used to change the direction of applied force and to control the tension and slack in a belt drive.
Machines
- Machines are used to multiply and change the direction of a force.
- Simple machines can be combined together to form complex machines.
- Machines can be designed to increase speed through mechanisms like gears.
Safety Precautions
- A face shield must be worn when using machinery that gives off sparks or little parts.
- Jewelry, loose clothes, and other accessories must be removed when working with machine tools or other equipment with rotating spindles to prevent accidents and hazards.
Car Troubleshooting
- If a car or truck doesn’t respond when you accelerate or stumbles as it increases in speed, the issue is likely related to the fuel filter.
- A clogged fuel filter can restrict the flow of fuel to the engine, causing a lack of power and performance issues such as stumbling during acceleration.
Engine Issues
- If the engine failed, it likely failed during the intake stroke because this is the phase where the air-fuel mixture is drawn into the cylinder.
- If too much air enters, it can cause a lean mixture, which may lead to engine failure.
Tools and Equipment
- A soldering iron is a hand tool used in soldering that supplies heat to melt solder so that it can flow into the joint between two workpieces.
- A hammer is a versatile hand tool used for driving nails, breaking objects apart, or striking surfaces, consisting of a handle and a head.
Friction
- Not all friction is harmful.
- Friction force decreases once movement is achieved because starting movement (overcoming static friction) is harder than continuing it (overcoming kinetic friction).
Material Selection and Design
- Welding is suitable for materials and machine designs where mechanical fixings are not suitable.
- An obstacle to recycling timber is the frequent need to remove ironmongery and saw or plane off damaged edges, because this can make the process costly.
Newton's Second Law of Motion
- Newton's second law of motion establishes a relationship between the net force acting on an object and its acceleration, considering the object's mass.
- The correct formula for Newton's second law is: F = m × a
